Who says death metal has to be all doom and gloom? Certainly not these elementary school students, who headbanged and “moshed” ecstatically while watching their music teacher play his first gig as a left-handed guitarist following a car accident that put his career in jeopardy.
The performer is Philippe Drouin, who fronts Canadian technical death metal band Obvurt. Drouin sustained injuries during a 2016 car accident that left him unable to continue playing guitar right-handed. Rather than abandon his craft, Drouin simply taught himself how to play left-handed, enlisting the help of famously ambidextrous shredder Michael Angelo Batio, who attacks the fretboard from every angle on his iconic quadruple-neck guitar.
